The Nick's Life
Happiness

“Api.”

Edo turned his body. His heart trembled as soon as Nick called him with the name he so wanted to hear. For a moment he looked at his son's face. His eyes are starting to dew. Nick walked up to the man and stopped just a few inches away from him.

“I'm sorry I couldn't recognize you before, papai. Thank you for everything you've done for me all this time. Also for my wife.”

“Can you hug you?”

“Of course.”

Edo pulls Nick into his arms. The tears that had been lying in the eye pelukur, finally spilled too. Nick is also touched by their meeting. A meeting that was so desirable a few months ago.

“Where is your wife?” edo asked after outlining their embrace.

“It looks like on the third floor. Must be busy with bookkeeping.”

“Take employees, do not burden your wife with work, so you can quickly have a baby again.”

“He who wants. He said while watching me, afraid that some customers would tease me.”

“Hahaha.”

Edo embraces Nick then heads towards the sofa that is there. His hand reached for the cup of coffee that Nick had made for him. Sipping slowly thick black liquid that has begun to reduce heat.

“Ehmm. Papai has not found coffee as good as yours in Rio.”

“Really? Maybe because I made it with love and affection,” as good as Nick.

“Can be,” Edo chuckles.

“My sister, what's her name?"

“Cattleya. She is commonly called Leya.”

“Good name, definitely she is beautiful.”

“You want to see it?”

Nick nodded his head. Edo took the phone out of his pants pocket then opened the gallery folder. He showed me a picture of himself with a beautiful girl. The photo he took a few months ago.

“Why didn't you take her?”

“Not yet. He would ask her if she had graduated from school. He's a school with a boarding school system. It's safer there for him. Maybe your mommy already told me about the life of papai.”

“Iya. I'm so sorry about Emily's mom. Does Leya know about Emily's mom?”

“No, papai had to lie to him. Papai said that his mother died in an accident. At the time of the incident, he had already entered the dormitory. Fortunately, you had time to secure him there and he could survive.”

Nick is silent, his real father's life is hard. But in the middle of that, he could still watch over and take care of himself. Nick does not remember how he used to look at his real father. But all he knew now, there was only a sense of admiration for him, and also affection.

“Do Leya know about me?”

“Of course. Papai told me about you and mommy to Emily and Leya. Your mama really wanted to meet you, but unfortunately her wish was not fulfilled. And Leya can't wait to graduate school soon so she can come here.”

“Is he a cheerful, quiet, or shy child perhaps?”

“That child if a day does not make the head turn dizzy seems to be stricken with fever. I don't know why she looks more like your mommy. The stubbornness of his head, he said, is very similar to Diah,” Edo shook his head not understanding.

“Do not until mommy hears this, can-can mommy big head,” Nick chuckles.

“True also.”

Light talk between the two kept flowing. Nick told me a lot about his life. And so did Edo. They seem to be making up for lost time. The eyes of both of them were full of deep yearning when looking at each other. Until then the talks were interrupted with the presence of Iza.

“Api.” Iza approached Edo and kissed the back of his hand. Nick pulls iza's hand and sits by her side.

“When can I reach?”

“Tadi night. Only now get here.”

“Where to sleep?”

“Di hotel.”

“Mas, later transfer to hotel. Take her stuff then move it home,” Iza looks towards her husband.

“Iya, darling.”

“My sister-in-law is not invited?”

“He's still in the dorm. If you have graduated, you will bring it here.”

“You want to see the picture, baby?” bargain Nick who immediately embraced the woman.

Nick takes his phone, then shows the photo that Edo sent to him. Iza's smile expands to see the beautiful face of her sister-in-law.

“What's the name?”

“Cattleya, call Leya,” replied Nick.

“Beautiful name, as pretty as the Cattleya.” orchid flower

“True. Her mother loved orchids so much, so gave that name.”

Edo looked at Iza full of harus. The daughter-in-law immediately acted familiar to him, there was no awkwardness at all, as if they had known each other for a long time. I can feel the genuine affection of her daughter-in-law.

“Zi.. are you sick? Why does your face look pale,” asked Edo.

“Yeah?” Iza touched his face.

Since three days ago he had indeed felt his body easily tired. But the woman did not bother and considered just tired because the atmosphere of the tavern was always crowded. Nick noticed Iza, his wife's face was indeed pale. He cursed himself who was insensitive to the state of the wife.

“You to the doctor?” bargain Nick.

“Ngga. I'm just the soy sauce. Papai, we have a new menu, papai should try.”

Iza stood up from his seat, about to get food for his father-in-law. But the instant his body felt faint, his gaze darkened for a moment and almost fell if Nick did not catch him immediately.

“Zi!”

“My head is dizzy, mas.”

“Come to doctor.”

Nick carries Iza's body and takes her away from the passage. Edo hurried to follow his son's steps. Anxiety instantly struck, afraid that something might happen to her daughter-in-law. Shopgoers were surprised to see the owner come out with his wife in his arms. Before leaving, Nick left the store at Rengga, his assistant at the store.

The car Nick was driving drove to the hospital. Never had she seen Iza this as sweet. The wife lay in the back seat, accompanied by Edo. The man immediately contacted Diah and asked her immediately to the hospital.

Nick stopped at the IGD entrance. He quickly got out and took his wife out and brought her in. A nun directly directed the man to one of the empty blankars. Nick laid Iza there. A doctor on duty immediately approached blankar Iza and examined him.

“How is my wife's condition, doc?” ask Nick impatiently.

“In the whole well. But for more details, it is better for your father's wife to be examined to the obstetrician.”

“Hah? Why doc?” Nick was like a fool, with Edo upset to hit the back of the child's head.

“Your wife is pregnant, Nick.”

“Ha.. pregnant? My wife is pregnant doc?” ask Nick not to believe it.

“Iya. For more details you just check with the obstetrician. Incidentally the practice hours are not over.

“You're pregnant, Zi. Thank God I will be a father.”.

🍂🍂🍂

The atmosphere of Nick's residence looks crowded. Bryan and Diah rushed to visit their son, upon hearing the happy news. Same with Ridho and Meta. The pregnancy of his wife was only four months from his sister. Meta is currently five months pregnant, and her stomach is already a little distended. Arnav also comes after hearing from Rina.

Diah cooked a lot of food for this son-in-law. Iza himself wants to be cooked crab saos padang. The woman was like a dejavu, when the son-in-law asked for the same meal during her first pregnancy.

Seeing the food order is already presented on the table. Iza seems impatient to taste it immediately. Diah asks Rina to help bring all the food to the living room they will eat together there. Nick, Ridho and Arnav help prepare all. Nick brought food for his wife.

“Mas.”

“Why baby?”

Iza whispered something in his wife's ear. Nick smiles while taking Iza's plate. His wife wanted to eat while being fed, but was ashamed to say in front of everyone, so just whispered. He began to feed the Iza who ate voraciously.

“Ummi already told?” ask Diah.

“Already, mom. Tomorrow ummi same abi here.”

“I heard you were getting married,” Edo told Arnav.

“Iya, om.”

“Apply, just call it that, like Nick and Iza.”

“Iya, papai,” said Arnav awkwardly because not too familiar with Edo. But the man's warm attitude made Arnav's awkwardness melt away.

“There's anything you need?” ask Edo again.

“Nothing, papai. Thank you.”

“She just needs parents to take her to propose to Rina,” said Nick.

“Do you not want to drive him? Outrageous,” Edo looks at Diah and Bryan.

“Close your mouth if you don't know, nothing,” sewot Diah followed by Bryan's naughtiness.

“Rina, near your parents' house are any women ready to get married? Widow can, if she can be productive, thirty to thirty-five years old,” Bryan chirped and of course attract the attention of all who are there.

“For who, dad? Don't tell daddy want polygamy,” exclaimed Ridho who was immediately rewarded with a plot from Diah. But Ridho just sniffed his shoulders.

“Stupid to reach, let there be a wife who can take care of it,” replied Bryan, making Edo instantly coughed.

“There. Her name is Wulan, she is 32 years old, a childless widow. Having been a widow for seven years, beautiful and still plump,” Rina giggled when she told the flower widow who lived near her parents' house. Widows have always been the wrestler of men and made wives keki.

“Then, during Arnav's application, you come along, Do. Later let me propose to Wulan for you,” tease Bryan.

“I agree. Later I will persuade Wulan,” said Diah.

Edo stared in annoyance at the couple next to him who kept teasing him. Laughter was immediately heard seeing Edo's reaction that was like a young man. The man's face looked red.

Day after night, the residence of Nick, which was originally crowded, now looks lonely. Lina and Edo had already entered into their respective rooms to rest. Nick and Iza also entered the room. Both are lying on the bed. Iza's head fell on her husband's arm, and their body position was sideways, facing each other.

“Zi. thank you. Thank you for this most beautiful gift,” Nick kissed the back of his wife's hand affectionately.

“Alhamdulillah, we are given confidence again yes, mas.”

“Yes, all thanks to our patience and prayers. God replaces what was taken from us. When you got pregnant, did you crave something?”

"Nothing strange. I just don't want to be away from you, Mom. I can only sleep in your arms.”

“Then now?”

“Ehmm.. don't know yet.”

“How about I have cravings?”

“Ngidam what?”

“Taking a look at our future child,” whispered Nick softly in Iza's ear while giving a small bite there, making Iza's body bristle.

“Not that cravings, but do want to mas aja.”

“Bby darling? The word doctor can origin slowly,” persuade Nick.

“Iya mas.”

Getting the green light from his wife certainly makes Nick happy. The man wasted no time and started his fondling. Nick noticed his wife's body that had not been covered by anything due to his actions. He only realized that in some parts of the body the wife had undergone changes. More full and looks more adorable.

“You're getting hot, Yang,” whispered Nick in Iza's ear.

“Mas flirty.”

“Genit same wife own not wrong, right?”

“Iya. But shy, mas,” Iza cover face with both hands.

“Then why? It's just the two of us here,” Nick mel*mat his wife's lips at a glance.

“Mas cunning.”

“Licik why?” ask Nick who is playing with the twin hills that are getting bigger and filled.

“The clothes are still complete,” Iza pursed her lips.

Chuckling, Nick straightened his body and then stripped off the clothes he was wearing one by one. Without blinking Iza looked at the sturdy body of the husband. Her eyes implied a passion for seeing her innocent husband. The man covered his wife's body and gave her kisses and a sip at some of her sensitive points, making the master uneasy to keep quiet.

Slowly, Nick unites his and moves his body in slow motion, as if afraid of hurting his future son. Iza mend*sah slowly, enjoying what her husband is doing.

Not wanting to make his wife tired, Nick chose to play fast. After the wife gets her release, the man wants to finish the game immediately. Nick spurred his body faster and before long he reached the top. A warm kiss was given by the man on Iza's forehead which was filled with sweat spots. Then he rolled his body to the side then pulled Iza in his arms.

“Thank you, baby,” whispered Nick.

Nick gets up for a while then pulls the blanket over to cover their innocent bodies. Iza put her body in the arms of her husband. It didn't take long, the woman was already asleep in her husband's arms.

The day Arnav arrived. The man seemed to take a deep breath several times while staring at his reflection in the mirror. His body was covered in white. Now is the time he met Rahman and paid the man's youngest child cash in front of the penghulu.

Nick goes into the room Arnav occupied. He and his family and other friends also drove the man of Pakistani descent to give up his bachelor. Until the end of the day, the Arnav family did not come. Arnav doesn't care, Nick and the others are enough for him. Now his family members increased with the presence of Edo.

A motorcade of vehicles came out of the hotel occupied by the groom-to-be. They headed for the village of Cilember, where the Rina family lived. It didn't take long for them to get there. In front of Rahman's residence, a white tent with golden ornaments on the edge has been installed neatly, along with a row of chairs. In addition to the house, a small stage is also available which will be filled with entertainment from the students of the boarding school owned by Rahman's friends.

The arrival of the groom's family was immediately warmly welcomed by Rahman and the family. Mina and Rahardi arrived two days ago to help prepare for the wedding. Not long ago, the ruler of the local KUA came to marry the bride and groom. Rahman immediately allowed the ruler to sit in the place that had been provided.

As he said the basmalah, Arnav sat down before Rahman. To his right sits the owner of the boarding school who will be a witness from Rina's side. From Arnav's side, Bryan will be the witness. Arnav's companions stand in line behind the groom. After checking the completeness of the wedding documents, the ruler encouraged Rahman to start a kabul ijab. The man grabbed Arnav's hand and held it tightly.

“Ananda Arnav Gulfaam, I marry and marry you to my daughter, Rina Mutaqinah bint Rahman Hidayat with dowry a set of prayer tools and gold 20 grams paid in cash!”

“I received the marriage and marriage of Rina Mutaqinah bint Rahman Hidayat with the dowry in cash!”

“How are the witnesses, legitimate?”

“SAAAAAHHHH.”
